Libra and Scorpio: the two signs of October 22

Love is where the tradition sets these two signs furthest apart. Libra, Venus's cardinal air sign, is described as the one that wants a partner more than most do: it likes being half of a pair and reads the room before it speaks. It would sooner talk a quarrel down than win it. The fault astrologers name for Libra is delay, a yes that stays a maybe because both options looked fair.

Scorpio sits in the fixed quality and the water element; Mars governs it in the older scheme and Pluto in the newer. Its reading is all or nothing: loyalty that does not bend, and a long memory for slights after a guarded first year. Where Libra argues by weighing both sides, Scorpio goes quiet and then says the one thing it has been holding back.
